Robust Absolute Solar Flux Density Calibration for the Murchison Widefield Array

Sensitive radio instruments are optimized for observing faint astronomical sources, and usually need to attenuate the received signal when observing the Sun. There are only a handful of flux density calibrators that can comfortably be observed with the same attenuation setup as the Sun. Additionally...
